IndianapoIi Corn Miller.
A writer says corn is eaten by a. greater mum.
Der of human beings than any other grain ex-
cept rye We do not know the authority for
this and cannot dispute it, though without know
ing nything about it we would have thought
moro people in the world were fed on wheat than
on corn direct. There is a greas deal more corn
into meat and. to a certain extent, whisky and
beer The same writer. in very interesting
way. calls attention to the great variety of uses
to which corn may be put. AS AT food for human
beings there is very wide limit TO the different
ways in which it may be served. From hominy.
hulled corn, grits, popcorn, corn meal. ETC.,
hundreds of dishes may be prepared. One firm
which advertises single product has a
recipe book which tells how to prepare over q
hundred dishes for the table. Corn is used In
many places as fuel. while cobs are a great
fsvorite for that purpose We may see around
the grocery stores cobs bound into bundles and
saturated with certain highly infammable
material, which renders them serv;ceable for
kinGling Cobs are often made into pipes;
leaves are used for wrappers for cigarettes,
while fodder is used for feeding cattle. The
| leaves OF corn have been manufactured into
